Akisha

I am a qualified Primary School teacher with 15 years of teaching and tutoring experience, currently working in an outstanding school. I take a positive approach to tutoring, helping children to boost their self esteem as well as their academic abilities. I have experience in teaching children throughout KS1 and 2.

My teaching strategies differ according to each child’s age, abilities and confidence, however with all children I aim to teach objectives through high quality modelling and use of engaging activities. I understand that children retain information better when interested in the teaching and so games and other interactive activities are incorporated within tutoring sessions.

In order to have a clear plan for moving forward, it is important to understand the child’s current abilities and identify any gaps/ misconceptions held. I take time to understand the starting point of a child at initial meetings.

Please do enquire for more information. Your child will be in the best hands!

Experience: As a classroom teacher, I am up to date with all of the new changes to the curriculum and am well equipped to support your child or children. I am also the designated Maths Lead where I oversee all teaching and learning in this subject for my current school.

In addition to my classroom teacher role, I have plenty of experience in tutoring children both individually and in small groups. Many children that I have worked with have made great progress from the moment that their needs have been identified and addressed.
